Idiss appears to be the first name of the character, not the last, or surname. But we can score it for 20.8. Also, this looks like a grahic novel, so doesn't qualify for styles.
But let me know if I've got it completely wrong.

From posts 29 and 76:
Kate, the 20.4 was a typo. This book only qualifies for 20.8 Dead Sea. (It's not a thriller for 20.4) Thank you.

Oops indeed, I got mixed-up with names and surnames ! And it's indeed a graphic novel: so i'll put it for 20.8 then, and no style points.
Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience !
